Themes of Geography-Sicily/Italy
Location- My dad is from Sicily the Island off of Italy. We use this in our culture and traditions all the time. The city from i am from is an influence in lots of stuff in life because it is who i am and can tell people stuff about me from where i come from. My life is different than people from other countries and even from other places in Italy.

Human Environment Interactions- My parents being from a different part of Italy then most people means my views of Italian Culture are different and for HEI Sicily interacts differently than Italy too the environment. We eat a lot of Italian foods, so when we dispose all our leftovers usually they are greasy. But the key part of throwing away food is that we throw a lot of it away because we make food in big batches. Another HEI is all of the rivers and mountains in Italy are getting trashed because we are throwing so much away. All of garbage is starting to add up and will soon destroy the beautiful scenery that is apparent now.

My culture in my home is similar to those living in Sicily. The land in Sicily is mountainous and flat at some points and has the most crystal clear ocean waters around it because after dumping all the trash and leftover garbage in the ocean and such there are so many “anti-garbage” groups around that the water is always gorgeous for all tourists to see. Sicily has so many nice and sweet people, there is a crime rate but that is mostly for little petty-theft things. Overall is a very establishes island that loves tourists and has lovely accommodations all year

According to www.understandin italian.com they stated that “although Italian is spoken throughout Italy, many of the regions have their own dialects, some totally unrecognizable from standard Italian”, this was quite shocking to me once reading but after thinking about it, I completely understand why.…

    Although I reside in Texas now, I was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. I am still growing as a person and though I am now accustomed to Texas tradition, my home country still holds a strong place in my heart. Growing up in different environments and being influenced by different cultures is truly an impactful gift.

The whole poem is a metaphor of my identity, which is based on my inner and outer self. For example, in line six I state: “I am from the tropical beaches”. This is a metaphor because I was not actually born on the beach, but instead, is something that makes me who I am.…

    I was born in San Jose, California and my family moved to Ohio, the heartland of America, soon after. I remember always peering through the window by the stairs as the snow fell then sledding down the snowy driveway with glee. During my childhood, I spent a year in China experiencing my cultural roots. My family then moved to Los Angeles where I have spent nearly thirteen years of my life exposed to a blend of different cultures and communities. The diversity encourages me to stay true to my background and enjoy standing out rather than fitting in.…
